| Sumario: | Since last months of 2017, I participated in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in a civil society group organized to support Élida de Oliveira who claims the right to live with his Kaiowá son, who is in an institutional care in the municipality of Dourados since 2015. In order to elucidate what has been denounced by the press as "removal of indigenous children” from their families, I present a case where suspicions about biological maternity from a mother who has not undergone public health procedures, are being used as one of the reasons for the removal of children by authorities of the Protection System. Starting from the political mobilization around the case, I draw attention to the heterogeneous participation of the Guarani and Kaiowá Indians around this debate, considering the historical and social context in which they are. |
